Tola "T.J." Madison Haynes Jr., 49, of Cartersville, Georgia, peacefully passed away December 16th, 2022 surrounded by many loved ones.
Born in Clearwater, FL on April 1st, 1973. Tola was a devoted family man, a mentor to everyone he met and a very successful businessman. He started Madison Telecommunications Inc. in 1997. There was never a time that he wasn't trying to strike a new business deal or trying to get a tax write off. His work ethic was unmatched and if you ever got to sit down and listen to him talk, he had so much knowledge to offer. Something special about Tola is that he was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need and he touched many lives in his short 49 years here on earth.
Tola's greatest talents were Golf and Bowling. He also took pride in coaching his kids in many sports as they were growing up and he never missed their practices or games. Tola had a 1968 Camaro that he completely restored from inside out, it was his pride and Joy. In his free time, he enjoyed working out, going on hikes, spending time with his kids and eating at his favorite restaurant...Waffle house. He was also an avid Texas Hold'em player.
Tola is survived by his Children Cody Stewart, Nicholas Haynes (Asia), Christian Haynes (Brittany), Zoe Haynes, and Troy Haynes; grandchildren Lyric, Beckham, and Braxton; Father Tola M. Haynes Sr.; brothers Kenny Haynes (Ashely), and Ricky Haynes (Christine); Cousin James Searfoss and many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his lovely mother, Carlene M. Cochran.
Tola will be remembered as a man of strength, who loved to laugh and make others laugh as well.
His children will now get to carry on his wonderful legacy as he watches over them in heaven with his lord and savior.
A celebration of life will be held at Red Top Mountain Group Shelter #2 on Friday January 20th, 2023 from 4:00PM-7:00PM.
